Ohh I agree, when something is to good, it's usually to good to be true. Ohh well I guess, but if there really are these poor babies, I just pray they make it into the right hands. I know I could have given one a very warm and caring home with lots of love.

Just my opinion...
I think this must be a scam! I read on a rescue organizations website that when "Backyard Breeders" or "puppy mills" are looking to sell out and stop breeding they go to these private animal auctions. They apparently occur mainly in the midwest but in some other places too and are apparently pretty horrible to witness. The dogs are treated horribly and are sold to the highest bidder like meat! The emphasis is soley on how much cash can be made off this dog and has no interest in the animals health. Most of the animals at the auction are sick and have injuries that have never been treated (like broken limbs and such).

Other puppy mill breeders or brokers for pet shops go to the auctions and buy new dogs to replenish their "breeding stock". Horrible! The rescue organization goes in undercover and will buy as many of the dogs as they can (with the donation money they collect) to adopt out to good homes. The sickest part is the article said that many of the dogs are AKC registered and that there is a representative there from the AKC to sign over the registration papers to the new owner or shall we call them "slave master".
Its just sick!

If this lady (who obviously didn't care about her animals) was really trying to get out of dog breeding why wouldn't she take her dogs to a place like that, or even list them in the paper. She could sell them for much more than the adoption fees listed (as we all know) and then move on! It just seems weird.

If she was able to just leave her pets like that then she obviously didn't care about them and so she was probably just in it for the money! So why would she not try to cash out! I hope it all works out and if these puppies really exist they go to the loving homes they deserve! Be carefull you know how crumy people can be....

Has anyone heard anything yet? I can't find the ad either, I am sure it is a scam, I even offered my cell number, who would rent to someone w/ that many animals, usually renting means "no pets" let alone breeding them...Please keep me posted everyone...Also you can turn the email address into the websight for possible fraud... yml

yml · 02-01-2007, 02:55 PM

I received an email that said THANKS BUT THEY ALL FOUND HOMES I think it is safe to say she will never pursue this sight again, she met true Yorkie Lovers that will do anything to help rescue them...Thanks Everyone! yml:
